even on machines without PS/2 keyboard/mouse hardware. Is that OK?
So far (compiling, not running 2.6.0-test3) I didn't notice any problems, though
there are problems. See

mouse/atkbd depend on serio driver (i8042) so if i8042 is module and they are forced to be builtin the whole story does not work.
apparently there are people who build them as modules
